DIY Photobooth

I really, really want a photobooth but of course it's not within the budget so I thought I could make my own from the many posts i've read on the internet. When I find my venue (ha,ha) I'm going to set up a corner for the photobooth. It's not going to be a real booth in the true sense of the word but a little corner cordoned off. I will need a white cloth for a background, a few props like a mustache, feather boa, sunglasses, hats and the like.Then I will have a camera set up to take pictures automatically of our guests. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to get the pictures printed on the spot so the guests can take them home.

Is there anyone doing a DIY photobooth. How would you get the pictures to the guests?

You did not tell me that you were planning to have a photobooth…I love this…random pics that you guest take as they enjoy your special day…great idea. You need to get a Kodak instant camera…that is the easies option…either that or use a digital camera and have a laptop and printer hooked up to print the pics…but this latter idea is more costly.

About Me

We are determined not to let our wedding land us in debt so we've decided that our budget will be between $3000 and $5000, not including attire and jewelry. I've read many blogs where so many brides are doing just that and in quite a manageable way. I was never that savvy and crafty before I started planning my wedding and now i'm nothing short of a craft guru. Ok, maybe guru is a little strong, but I'm attempting everything myself since i'm a complete DIYer now. Of course i'll enlist the help of family and friends when it comes down to the wire but for now, i'm well on my way. Wish me luck!

TIFFANY BLUE BRIDE- Can Anyone say blue?

I've always adored turquoise, aqua, teal and every light shade of blue. For anyone who knows me, it was a pretty obvious choice as to what my wedding colors would be.

We decided that our colors would be aqua/tiffany blue and white. Our theme initially started out as butterflies (my other absolute favorite thing) and I was so excited about that but the more I researched aqua or turquoise, the more tiffany came up, so I found myself leaning more into that theme. I may still have a few butterflies in there but nothing too noticeable. so my new theme is the 'Tiffany Blue Box'.

Once we decided on the "Tiffany Blue Box", I decided to add some crystal and silver elements to it to give it a little sparkle.

Most of the time, its pretty hard to find a true tiffany blue - it's called robin's egg, aqua, pool, light turquoise and even sometimes mermaid among other things. I've decided that it doesn't really matter if they're not all the same thing, as long as they're in the same family. I actually think that the different shades make it more interesting.

The bright white will contrast nicely with the various blues, there's going to be just enough bling from the crystals to give it that extra sparkle and small pieces of silver will be spread around for an additional little shiny element.
